The Art of Discussing Art
The year's topic is Art and Ambiguity: The Firm vs. the Fuzzy
Come add your voice to a conversation about an important aspect of the human condition, as reflected by thinkers and artists through the ages. What role does ambiguity play in our lives? How do we deal with it? Do we resist it? Or do we embrace it? What does art have to tell us about ambiguity? What have great thinkers said?
